Talk with AI Jesus! Talk with AI Satan! I know it’s all fake, but I can imagine the less critical and prone to delusions or already schizophrenic will not be helped. I’ve started seeing repercussions of people not knowing how chatbots work showing up with clients. Wild

Lesson three in my class on religious trauma, "Reclaiming Your Life," goes into ethics. Turns out, because a god never existed in the first place, you've always been the one making the decisions.

Lesson two in my "Reclaim Your Life" class is about moving on from the limitations that religious authoritarianism has about who you are.

For those coming out of religious fundamentalism, thoughts are considered to be a sign of one's fallen or sinful state.
The first lesson in my new class "Reclaim Your Life," provides an alternative humanistic principle.

Had the humbling experience of being on a panel discussion concerning coming out of religious indoctrination. These women were powerhouses and I only hope that my contribution was helpful. An amazing experience at FreeFlo put on by @cflfreethought.bsky.social

Every moment of every day we’re showcasing our allegiance to one of several Identities we hold to as a way to tell the particular group we’re connected, from work to politics to family: “I’m with you.”

The draw of being online is the superpower of being able to control one's entire environment. To remove all dissent, to find only information that promotes your own ego-ism, is enticing not because we aren't able to be wrong, but because we don't want to be.

Directing attention to the atypical by labeling it deviant is a time-proven way of utilizing shame as a social control. "Why can't you be more like x?" is the parental equivalent of the social admonition "don't rock the boat"…

The lure of the mob is not something the "other person" engages in, it is tied intimately to our desire to remove freedom for the safety and security of authority. We must, as with all biases, endeavor to acknowledge and fight their more pernicious results.

We never act against our interests, we simply fail to consider the consequences of our actions. People are not just one thing or one desire, and such myopic thinking only serves to blind us to possibilities.
